Dump trucks are large vehicles used in heavy cargo transportation. These vehicles, which we encounter on the roads, can carry very heavy loads at a certain speed. They are indispensable tools, especially in the construction industry. They can be used for any heavy duty you can think of. Dump trucks are used to transport rubble, sand, cement, brick, goods. Dump trucks used in the construction industry can immediately unload some of their loads to their location thanks to the tipper behind them. The safety of these vehicles, which are produced to be used for carrying heavy loads, are also very important. Maintenance and periodic checks must be made. In order not to cause any accidents on the roads, they must be checked by the accredited notified bodies.
In trucks and heavy vehicles carrying heavy loads, the equipment behind the truck to lift the safe and the weight of the truck to keep the balance of the equipment is called a damper. However, when the damper is called, there are trucks that bear the heavy load and can lift the safe. Bil isa is widely used in construction and construction sector in dump trucks. The case is very suitable for transporting sand and heavy construction materials and for easy unloading.
Dump trucks have a wide variety of types depending on the area to be used. For example, vehicle overhead dampers are preferred for road construction and excavation works. Their length reaches to 7 meters. Giant dampers are preferred for the transportation of heavy and strong materials such as rock and stone. Their width is 3,5 meters, while 9 meters are close to 8 meters. In general, bathtub type dampers are used to transport materials such as sand, gravel and asphalt. They also find the XNUMX meter.
Measures should be taken to prevent the opening of the tipper and the periodic inspections of the tipper trucks. The most common accident in dump trucks is the opening of the damper while the vehicle is in motion. In order to avoid these accidents, dump trucks must have safety systems to prevent rear opening of the case during movement.
The minimum requirements for the health and safety of work machines and equipment used in workplaces are included in the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment. According to the regulations, dump trucks should be inspected and inspected at least once a year on a regular basis.
TÜRCERT carries out periodic inspections and inspections of dump trucks within the scope of regular controls of construction equipment in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by all organizations. A few standards based on this subject are:
- TS EN 474-6 + A1 Construction and digging machines - Safety - Part 6: Specification for tipper trucks
- TS ISO 7132 Earthmoving machinery - Tipper - Terminology and commercial properties
- TS ISO 10268 Construction and excavation machines - Speed reducers for tippers and crawler scrapers - Performance tests
- TS 3804 Soil digging and transport machinery - Damper frames - Volume determination
